Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 30, 1914.

Application filed October 18, 1912. Serial No. 726,543.

To all whom'it may concern:

Be it known that I, EGBERT H. DAVIS, a citizen of the United States 'of America, residing aft" Wyandot'te, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Garment-Hangers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying .drawings.

My invention relates to garment hangers, and more particularly to a hanger designed fig wardrobe trunks, clothes presses or the li e.-

The invention resides inthe peculiar construction, arrangement and combination of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claim.

In the drawings,-Figure l'is an elevation of a hanger embodying my invention;

and Fig. 2 is a perspgctive view partly in section, of a wardro trunk showing the hanger. arranged therein.

In certain constructlons of wardrobe trunk or clothes presses the hangers areprovided with bearings for engaging spaced supports as the bars or tracks A B in the trunk C. This construction'of hanger however cannot conveniently be sus ended from the usual arrangement of-hoo s in a closet, but the .closet hooks are best arranged to engage hangers having .a central bearing hook or e e. I have therefore provided a constructron which will permit the hangers to be eitherisupported by spaced bearings or to be suspended by a central hearing. I

is shown, D designates the hanger having a garment engaging ortiou E of suitable ,constructiondepen ing upon the garment to be engaged therewith-and F is a horizontally arranged member or bar attached to the portion E and having adjacent opposite ends thereof bearings as the hook-shaped members G H which are adapted to engage the spaced tracks A B in the trunk. Extending upwardly from the bar C is a membe'rI provided with a bearing J arranged substantially centrally of the hanger. The member I is in the form of a heavy fabric or leather strap, or a metal band or the like, preferably a fabric strap, having a central loop forming the bearing J and provided at its opposite ends with gofis K for detachably engaging the hooks By the arrangement before described the hanger may be either suspended by the members G H .from the tracks or spaced supports in a trunk or the like, or converted by means of the strap I into a hanger having va central bearing. Also the member I' is engageable with and detachable from the supporting hooks G H while the garment is upon the hanger. v

hat I claim as my invention is A garment hanger comprising a, garment engaging section, a horizontal section from which said garment engaging section is suspended, spaced bearings adjacent the op posite ends of said horizontal section, and a removable member having a central bearing from which it is adapted to be suspended and having spaced bearing portions for detachably engaging the bearings upon the horizontal section.

Intestimony whereot I al'fix my signature ill/15136861188 of two witnesses.
